Weeds — Control Without Poisons demonstrates the necessity in agriculture today for a more holistic, eco-centered perspective. The author explains what 50 years of deadly chemicals have already done to our soil and our bodies, demonstrating that this process does not work in any long-term commonsense agricultural system and offering alternatives to chemicals. Charles Walters explores the workings of soil ecosystems and provides specifics on a host of weeds — why they grow, what soil conditions spur them on or stop them, what they say about your soil, and how to control them without the obscene presence of poisons.
